Off the line, the Superb 2.0 TSI 265 7DSG hits 100 km/h in 5.64 s versus 6.58 s for the P7. Despite lacking instant torque, 265 hp of power compensates. At this point, the Superb 2.0 TSI 265 7DSG leads by 0.95 s and sits roughly 9 m ahead.
At 200 metres, the Superb 2.0 TSI 265 7DSG is doing 136 km/h against 127 km/h for the P7. The gap is 0.59 s. The challenger starts to claw back ground.
At 400 metres standing start, the Superb 2.0 TSI 265 7DSG crosses the line in 13.81 s versus 14.81 s. The 1.00 s gap represents roughly 43 m of track - a gap visible to the naked eye.
Past 400 metres, the Superb 2.0 TSI 265 7DSG continues to build its lead. At 600 metres, it runs at 193 km/h versus 170 km/h. At 1,000 metres, the Superb 2.0 TSI 265 7DSG finishes in 24.70 s versus 27.64 s, with a 2.94 s lead.
Electronically capped at 170 km/h, the P7 never reaches its natural aerodynamic ceiling in this duel. That’s not a physical limit of the motor - it’s a deliberate manufacturer decision, typically tied to standard-fit tyre ratings or model-range positioning.
Instant electric torque gives an advantage off the line. The higher top speed of the combustion engine gives an advantage over longer distances. The distance at which one catches the other depends on the top speed differential.
In European road use (130 km/h max), both vehicles reach the legal speed limit in under 10.18 seconds. The 0.95 s difference in 0 to 100 km/h is mostly felt in motorway merging and overtaking.
Over 0–100 km/h, Superb 2.0 TSI 265 7DSG wins (5,63 s vs 6,58 s).
